### Quotes for Outreach
1. "Come to him today, would you please? May I tell you, time is short, may I tell you, today, now is the day of salvation. Time is short, my friends. Jesus will be coming for his church. We don't know the day or the hour, but we certainly understand the times that we're living in, the signs of the times. Let's be ready when he comes. We don't need to be embarrassed. We don't need to hide. Let's be able to meet him with a smile on our faces and lift it up in praise to him." [01:23:07]
2. "Jesus went through this to save us. Do you guys understand that? Then do something about it. You have to. You can know all this stuff that I've talked about and still not go to heaven. Jesus said on that day of judgment, many will come to me and say, Lord, Lord, how come you're not letting me in? Didn't I prophesy in your name? Didn't I do all these things and play church in your name and all of that stuff? You'll say away from me, evildoer. Listen, away from me, evildoer. I never knew you. Do you understand what that means? I never had a relationship with you. You've never gotten real with me. Let that not be what happens to you today." [01:24:49]
3. "And so, praise the Lord. We all won, didn't we? Because he drank the cup. Praise the Lord. And the good lesson in this, I believe, is that, hey, to all of us, we need never fear the cups that the Father hands to us. Don't live in fear of the cup that God may give to us in the future, in the time. Because he's metered it. It's like taking a shot. You know, if you're a barista or something, you don't have to be a barista. You don't have to be a barista. You don't have to be a barista. Just how much water, just how much coffee to put in there, and you draw the shot, you know, in a perfect artistic way, and it's gorgeous. Well, God has a way of metering those cups of suffering. He'll never give you more than what you can bear. He'll never do that. And those are the ways that we grow." [01:06:10]
4. "And so we're almost there, guys. We're almost there. In the garden that night, you would both find both guilt and grace, and that's the name of this sermon today. Peter was guilty of resisting God's will. Judas was guilty of the worst kind of treachery, wasn't he? And the mob was guilty of rejecting the Son of God and treating him as though he was the lowest kind of criminal. But Jesus was gracious. Like King David, he crossed the Kidron fully conscious of what was going to happen to him, that he was going to be betrayed. And then he was going to be dealt with in the most severe way. He went into the garden of Gethsemane, surrendering through tears of blood, surrendering to his father's will. And he healed Malchus' ear, protected his disciples. He yielded himself into the hands of sinners. Why? That he might suffer and die for you and for me." [01:21:23]
5. "And so here's that first area of failure where we start warming ourselves by the fires of the world because we're frustrated or we've sinned against the Lord and we don't know what to do instead of just coming to the Lord and confessing it and getting right with the Lord. We warm ourselves by the fire of the world. We start going back to the old haunts. We start calling up the old people. We start doing the old things." [01:15:35]
### Quotes for Members
1. "Peter made every mistake possible. Just like I said, he fought the wrong enemy. He used the wrong weapon. He had a wrong motive, and he accompanied or accomplished the wrong result. He was openly resisting the will of God and hindering the work that Jesus came to accomplish. I can't imagine how bad it is. I can't imagine how bad it is. I can't imagine how bad it is. I can't imagine how bad it is. It says that when he looked at Jesus' face over at Caiaphas' house, that he saw his eyes as Jesus looked at him, and he wept bitterly. And I think he really understood what he had done. And yet, Jesus was there to forgive him. Jesus was there to restore him. Jesus was there to use him again, and he became one of the most important of all the disciples." [01:07:49]
2. "And so, look at verse 12. And maybe you've made those mistakes in the past. Don't be condemned by it. Just give it to the Lord, and the Lord will raise you back up. Verse 12 here, it says, and then the detachment of troops and the captain and the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound him. So it wasn't, he is, he's all bound up, chains and ropes and all this stuff, but that wasn't what was really binding him up. You know what it was? His love for you. Nothing could bind him up. Nothing could, you know, tie him up and restrict him or capture him. What captured him was the joy set before him to endure the cross for you. That's why he was there. And I think that's so wonderful." [01:07:49]
